Hello there Paul! Welcome to planDisney, we're so glad you're here!
The
Australian Disneyland site does recommend that you work with a local travel agent in your area to book your trip to the Disneyland Resort. A local travel agent who specializes in trips to the "Happiest Place on Earth" will be able to ensure a smooth trip for your family, as well as share the best tips for travel to the States!
In the meantime, I highly recommend exploring the
Disneyland Resort Hotels to see which one would be the best fit for your family. You truly cannot go wrong, they are all magical in their own way! We love to stay at the
Disneyland Hotel, our kids love the monorail waterslides, and we love to end the night with a tropical drink from
Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar.
It looks like you'll also be visiting during
Halloween Time! I'd keep my eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as your trip gets closer for all of the spooky fun and treats to be had. I'm wishing you and your family a very magical trip, Paul! Don't hesitate to
come back and ask us any other questions.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
